Most people have read horoscopes during their lives to see what awaits them on a particular day–based on their astrological signs. They may also pay particular attention to horoscopes on their birthdays which, for some reason, seem even more prophetically accurate. But fewer people actually call psychics on the phone or visit them in person for readings. And for those who do, their reasons for contacting psychics usually fall into one of five categories. Whatever reason prompts them to call, there are some definite psychological and even de facto benefits to getting a psychic reader.

Entertainment

Many people are just curious and contact psychics for sheer entertainment. Whether they believe what the prognosticator says or not, a psychic reading from one of these talented professionals can be fun.

Career Advice

With the economy still sputtering and wavering, though the recession ended in 2009, people get live psychic readings to seek career advice. It’s not easy finding a job in today’s economy and psychics can help people find jobs. They may also advise them on starting their own businesses. Top psychics can discern callers’ skills and talents and suggest entrepreneurial endeavors that may suit them. If nothing else, the person on the other line can encourage the downtrodden and get them refocused and motivated about their job search.

Finding Love

Who doesn’t want to know if they’ll ever meet that special someone? Rather than waste time at bars or joining dozens of dating sites, a psychic reading may divulge when and how you can meet your future spouse. Many psychics have visions–much like what moviegoers see on silver screens–and can advise callers on how to expedite a potential meeting with that special person. For those who’ve lost hope, a psychic reading can, at the very least, serve as a pick-me-up.

Improving or Saving Relationships

The American Psychological Association says that 40 to 50 percent of all married couples will get divorced. Given this staggering statistic, it seems a love psychic reading can only help not hurt a couple’s chances of staying together. Psychics may be able to tell if a spouse can or will change their behavior in the future. They may also help determine whether counseling will help save a marriage. For those who aren’t married, psychics can advise individuals as to whether certain individuals are right for them.

Suggestions for Health Problems

There’s no more helpless feeling than having a health problem, especially if it’s severe or even fatal. While people may cower to the idea of questioning their mortality, a psychic can comfort a person in their time of need. They may offer suggestions on treatments or perceive something even the doctor overlooked. Those who are also psychic mediums may even comfort them by telling them about deceased relatives they perceive–and who will be waiting for them on the other side.

Whatever the reason for calling, psychic readings can change people’s lives for the better.

Life is definitely complicated. No one has an easy life since there is always something that someone has to deal with. No matter who you are, the future is also very uncertain. There are no guarantees in life and as such one way that people deal with not knowing what will happen next in their lives is through the use of a psychic. In this world there are many mysteries that surround us and one day science will make the link to psychism and reveal the true nature of our essence including who and what we are. However, until that time many people may also be focused on their current life and what is yet to come. Yet the question still also remains on who we might have been in a previous life.

There are many signs that can make you feel as if you had a past life, including:

Flashbacks

Dreams

Deja-vu

Familiar faces

Memories

Do certain elements of life feel familiar to you for no reason? Have you journeyed to parts of this world and you feel like you have been there before? Do you have memories of people, of events, of a life that are from a different time? This is a true indication of having a past life and many people have experienced it. Some people believe that when we die our souls are recycled and are put into another body to live once again. With some people it could be in the same century while with others it may be many centuries later. If you feel that you have experienced a past life then you should have a past life reading. Who knows maybe you were someone famous in a past life like a King or a famous celebrity.

What is a past life reading?

You can find out about a past life with a psychic or even with a past regression therapist but they both have different ways in their methods. The therapist will put you under hypnosis while asking you a series of questions about your lives and about your different personalities. For some people discovering a past life through hypnosis is not always successful because their brain blocks things form their memories.

Prepare Yourself

A past life reading is when you go to a psychic and they give you a reading about events that have occurred. It’s important to be prepared prior to setting foot in a psychic booth. You should already come prepared with some questions that you want answered. However, you don’t have to worry too much since it is the psychic’s job to do the reading.

The psychic will usually pick up on any possible past-life events by touch or even by your presence in the room. The psychic will ask you about things and/or people that may seem familiar to you. Depending on the gifts of the psychic this could be a great way in jogging memories that have been stored away for hundreds of years. Some people may discover that they have lived multiple and even hundreds of lives, these people are called old souls. But there are also people that will not discover any because they are said to be a new soul.

Life Psychics is a network that literally tries to match you with a psychic for life. It’s an odd strategy since many psychics specialize in just one or two areas of life: one may be better with career questions while another is better with love and romance. In the end, however, it might not matter much what their strategy is as there were plenty of “red flags” about Life Psychics that should scare away most discerning consumers.

Types of Readings

Life Psychics offers a standard array of readings: love, astrology, numerology, spiritual and dream analysis. There are some questionable categories here, however. What is a “religion” reading, anyway? “Therapy and counseling” seems a little odd, too: every psychic offers counseling to some degree, but shouldn’t “therapy” be left to trained therapists?

Screening Process

It’s uncertain whether there even is a screening process. Extension numbers started in the 4 digit range before making it well into the 5 digit range. That means there’s way more psychics on this network than there should be. The psychic profiles were a mess. Many were marked by stock photos of doves, hearts, swans, and vaguely mystical hands—but no faces. Most of the profiles also were written in very bad English. Some were even written in all caps, which is a major internet no-no. Perhaps the most alarming red flag hinting at a deficiency in screening was the message on the site, prominently displayed, that none of the psychics were even employed by Life Psychics, indicating that nearly anyone who wants to can simply come over to this site and hang out their particular shingle.

Impression of Website

The site’s Adsense header strikes me as an awfully bad sign: it takes up nearly half of the page as if the Adsense ads leading to other psychics, and not the psychics on the Life Psychic network itself, are the primary source of this network’s income. The pigeon English is another bad sign, making me wonder if I’m not staring at some sort of spammer’s site out of some other country with lax laws. The banner at the top of the sight invites me to “Get Amazing Reading,” which is just downright illiterate. Nothing about this site inspires any confidence whatsoever.

Price and Special Offers

I saw prices as low as $1.00 per minute and as high as $11.11 per minute (and what a marketing ploy that was). There was simply no consistency. The site does offer 10 minutes for $10 if you click the banner fast enough: the countdown clock beneath the offer gives you exactly ten minutes to decide if you want this offer. Yet since there were psychics offering readings for $1.00 per minute already it was unclear how this was supposed to represent a bargain. This kind of high-pressure sales culture is rarely good for the customer and was yet another indication that it was time to steer clear.

Conclusion

Everything about this network inspires me to run away. You can even find several psychics running popular scams such as “love spells” right near the top of the list of psychics! My advice is to seek out a network that is going to be more trustworthy and to avoid this one at all costs.
